I love bikes. Of course, with a name like Loving the Bike that is pretty obvious. But I love all kinds of bikes. Even though I am a road cyclist, I also love coming across cool bikes of all styles and varieties.

So, the other day I was driving in downtown Courtenay and I saw a guy on one of the most unique bikes I’ve ever seen. I watched him cruising along and then I lost him when he turned off in a different direction.

But the next day I saw the bike parked outside of a local bakery, so I went in to find the owner. His name was Dan and I told him how incredible I thought his bike was. I had to get going, but I told him I’d call to have him come by Mudsharks sometime so I could have a better look.

A couple days later, he came to see me and let me check out his custom built electric chopper bike named Kermit.

Dan is super interesting, and I loved hearing him tell me all about how his love for building bikes started…..and more details about the Kermit build. Oh, and he also let me take it out for a spin as well. My first time on any kind of electric bike. Thanks for that, Dan.

I’m not a videographer or editor, but I put this little video together so you hear it all right from Dan.

It worked out great because my Son and I went out on a dolphin watching tour, and seeing things from the middle of the ocean can be nothing but a good thing.

Have a look at this week’s episode of Loving the Bike TV filmed from about 5 miles off the coast of Grenada. Find out how a different perspective is often all you need.

For the next few episodes of Loving the Bike TV, we’ll be focusing on ways to build self esteem so we all can move onto building better selves.

If you really want to be Loving Life on and off the Bike, one of the building blocks is being self confident and to be loving yourself.

Okay, so are you with me? Let’s take on self esteem together.

It’s pretty hard to pump out motivation and tell people to love life…..when you’re in a funk, right? Well, here’s what I’ve been doing to get out of it. Believe me, I’m doing all I can to stay Funk Free.

Check out this weeks episode filmed from under our Moringa Tree, and how it helps symbolize the topic.

Sure, I may seem like I’m an extrovert….but it’s only when I’m in a situation where I feel totally at home and comfortable. I’m all about my element and do all I can to stay right there in it as much as I can.

In this edition of Loving the Bike TV, I talk about being in your element and how it is a definite way to be Loving Life on and off the Bike.

In this edition of Loving the Bike TV I talk about the number one piece of advice I would give myself if I could go back and tune myself in. I strongly feel this piece of advice is what all young people need to know, and I hope you’ll share it with those around you.

Enjoy.

My good buddy from the Goats on the Road lifestyle travel website captured some fun moments of my Son and I on our Caribbean farm…..so I’m using it for this week’s edition of Loving Life on and off the Bike. Yeah, you were thinking I was actually captured by a goat weren’t you?

This is going to be the most amazing video quality you’re ever going to see over here at Loving the Bike TV….and probably the only drone footage as well. Enjoy.

Yeah, it’s pretty hard to be loving life on and off the bike if you’re consumed by hate.

As you can tell by the video, I’m still having trouble centering my head in the shot….I might have to get a freaking selfie pole or something to help with this.

The top of my head might be missing, but I hope you find the information in this week’s edition helpful and entertaining.
